The Alps by Air
Flying to the Alps is by far the quickest way to travel to the snow. With some 15 carriers offering 250 direct scheduled routes from 25 UK airports to 26 Alpine destinations, the choice is huge.
The majority of flights serve the mainstream alpine hubs of Geneva, Innsbruck, Zurich, Salzburg, Vienna, Munich, Lyon, Milan and Turin. But there’s also a growing choice of direct flights to a number of smaller regional airports. These include Linz (Austria), Grenoble and Chambery (France), Memmingen and Friedrichschafen (Germany), Bergamo and Trieste (Italy), Lubljana (Slovenia) and Bern (Switzerland). Bear in mind too that it can also sometimes be advantageous to travel to your resort via an airport in a neighbouring country.
